A judge declined to set any bail June 17 for a man suspected of killing his boyfriend in a Downtown motel.<\/p>\n
Ryan Edward Breeland, 41, pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the June 9 death of Kenneth Banks, 32, whose body was found in a motel in the 1300 block of 10th Avenue in Downtown San Diego.<\/p>\n
The room was registered to Breeland and he had checked out. The body was discovered by a motel staff member who called San Diego Police.<\/p>\n
The murder charge says Breeland used a knife in the crime, but a prosecutor said Banks died from blunt force trauma to his face and head.<\/p>\n
Attorneys did not make an argument about bail at the June 17 arraignment before San Diego Superior Court Judge Joseph Branigan, so he left the no bail status remain.<\/p>\n
The arraignment took place at 5:17 p.m. on a long calendar on what was the first day of in-person arraignments now that the courts have re-opened. During the coronavirus outbreak, live streamed audio of hearings took place but that has been discontinued.<\/p>\n
A preliminary hearing was set for Aug. 23 and Breeland waived his right to have it heard earlier. His attorney, Shonte Hobson, asked for discovery materials from the prosecution.<\/p>\n
Breeland is from Allendale, South Carolina. He has a felony conviction in South Carolina, and he was booked here on a parole violation. His Facebook page said he was in a relationship.<\/p>\n
A funeral service for Banks was scheduled for July 2 at a National City mortuary. He lived in San Diego.<\/p>\n
